#2 What is the FitXperience? The FitXperience is a one-of-a-kind event celebrating dance fitness, music, culture and life! Get ready to follow the lead, sweat, move your body, flex your mind, and feel empowered.
Still not sure what it is? Well, if you’ve ever been to a Zumba class or a Zumbathon then this will be similar but with a LOT more flair. The event is 90 minutes and includes live music by Kineli "Watatah" Russo and some of the best Zumba instructors in the DMV leading dances from all of the world- salsa, merengue, reggaeton, etc. You will dance, you will workout, you will leave inspired! So, come celebrate the diverse cultures that make our country beautiful and dance with us!
#3 What do I wear? This is a dance fitness concert, so come wearing clothes you’ll be comfortable dancing in. And feel free to "bling up" your regular workout clothes if you’d like. Remember, this is Zumba with flair!
#4 How long is the show? Doors will open at 1:30 pm. The show will take place from 2-3:30 pm. We will have a few vendors set up before and after the show so be sure to come early! We will also have an opportunity for folks to take pictures with the instructors from 3:30-4 pm.
#5 Will I be able to take pictures? Yes! We want you to come and enjoy yourself and take lots of pictures. But, please be respectful of other folks in the crowd and not block their view with your phone. And remember, not everyone wants their picture posted to social media so take as many selfies as you want but be mindful of who you include in your live feed-- that person beside you may have a nasty boyfriend who doesn’t approve of them being out dancing and having fun… you never know… so when it comes to social media… play it safe!
#6 I lost my ticket? Can I still come? Yes! We will have a master list of everyone who purchased their tickets in advance. Just let one of our lovely check-in folks know when you arrive.
#7 If I don't dance, can I still come? Absolutely! Everyone is welcome! Behind the dance floor we have ample seating where you simply sit and watch the show. But, beware once you hear the music you may find your toes tapping! Everyone is welcome on the dance floor. And, guess what, everyone will be watching the performers so no one will notice if you have two left feet!
#8 I’ve never done Zumba. Would I feel out of place? This is a judgement free zone! Two left feet, no problem. This is a cardio class, not a choreography class. So come give it a try. Step outside of your comfort zone. You won’t regret it.
